These fractionalfourchettes. extending to but an intermediate pointof the fingers. aswell as the tip portions. also extending short of the finger back,permit the use of fragments of the facing material, as leather, whichmeans that in practice trim portions from the palms, which may normallybe waste, are thus utilized, and there is practically no additional exense for material. Furthermore. due to this seamless or unitary lining,there notwithstanding such facing. a reduction in the total sewingrequired with a degree of flexibility retained in the glove for ease onthe hand of a workman with wear facing and lining at the points to givethe glove life.
